Angels punch last ticket to PVL semis
MANILA, Philippines — Petro Gazz fended off a fierce third-set challenge put up by ZUS Coffee and carved out a 25-21, 25-19, 25-23 victory last night to claim the last spot to the PVL All-Filipino Conference semifinals at the PhilSports Arena.
The Angels came up with all the answers in quashing an attempt by the Thunderbelles and sealing the series, 2-1.
That propelled the two-time Reinforced Conference champion to the round-robin semis alongside four-peat feat-seeking Creamline, Choco Mucho and Akari.
The semis unfurls Saturday with the Angels battling the mighty Cool Smashers and the Flying Titans tackling the Chargers in a pair of electric showdowns at the Ynares Center Antipolo.
Battle-scarred setter Chie Saet turned back the time with 20 excellent sets while chipping in five points.
Most importantly, she kept the boat steady with her incredible calm amid the storm whipped up by a rallying ZUS late in the third set.
